Diseased (ShinKami)

Chapter 35

Wednesday.

Half way through the week.

Only four days left until Denki's friends have to return to Japan.

He wanted to make sure that the week was full of fun and joy.

Aizawa and Mic had said that they would leave on Sunday, so that they could all spend Saturday together so that they could do something fun, but at the moment, they were all walking through the mall, as school was out for the day.

It was a hot summers day so the school gave all of the students a day off. They were all spending the day with Denki's friends; Corey, Jackal, Olive, Dante, Shira, Val and Conan. They had decided to go an arcade, grab some food from the food court and some Boba tea. It was a nice outing for them all and before they knew it, it was nearing late afternoon and it was time for them to head home.

"I'm surprised that there are no villains walking the streets." Iida said with the additional hand gestures.

Denki's Australian friends looked at each other with confusion.

"You don't?" Val asked.

"Nope. Everywhere we look or even go, the villains aren't far behind." Kirishima sighed.

"Yeah. They were always there, following our every move. Kinda creepy if you think about it." Hagakure added.

"WOW. I guess we have it easy here then, huh?" Jackal said.

They had eventually made it back to the house and were just stepping through the door, when Uncle Damien walked up to Denki, mouth in a thin line.

"Could I talk to you for a minute, Denki?"

"Sure...!"

They both went into the backyard and stood in front of each other.

"So... What did you want to tell me?"

"Your 'father' is going on trial on Friday. The court wanted to know exactly what happened when you lived with him."

"Everything?"

"Everything. You'll be having the morning off so that you can be on video chat in the court room, as it was too late of notice for you to catch a plane over there."

"..."

"Now. I don't want you to worry about it but you have to be honest with the judge and tell them everything. No tricks. No lying. Only the honest truth. Got it?"

"Got it..."

The duo made their way back inside and Denki made his way up to his room where he would hang out with his friends for the rest of the day. When Denki entered, he saw Mina, Sero, Corey and Jackal playing Mario Cart on the switch. Eri and Shinso were playing with Arakan. Eri had to stay with Damien for the past few days, as he had Monday- Tuesday off. The other girls were talking with Shira and Olive. The boys were hanging out and Val was having a chat with Tokoyami. They were all distributed around the room, either on the couch, the floor or amongst the beanbags.

Denki went into his room and just sat on his bed, twiddling his thumbs and thinking about his Father. He was so lost in thought that he didn't realise that Shinso was standing in the door way. When Denki looked up, he didn't smile like he usually would. Shinso took it as a hint to sit next to the blonde.

"Hey... What's up? Everything OK?"

"How did I deserve you guys to be my friends...?"

"You just being you. That's what. We all love and care for you, Denks."

Denki noticed the faint blush spread to the purplette's cheeks. A smirk crossed his lips. He was thinking about teasing the insomniac.

"You like me. Don't you, Shin?" Denki teased.

"What?! N-no! As a friend, yes. But in that way, no! Not at all!"

"DENIAL IS THE FIRST STEP TO A CONFESSION!" Mina stated from the other room.

"Shut up, Ashido!" Shinso cried with embarrassment.

"It's OK if you do, though..." Denki said trying to hide the blush on his own cheeks.

"What do you mean?"

"I like you too, Shinso. I always have. Since the sports festival, actually. When I saw you using your quirk, it was amazing and I knew I wanted to be friends. And then when you joined us in that training exercise, I tried to make you my friend. When you joined our class, I knew that I wanted to be more than just friends with you."

Denki looked into the violet eyes of the other boy, his golden eyes shining with hope. Shinso didn't know what to do, but apparently, his mind did. Without thinking, he leaned over and planted a soft kiss on Denki's lips, but it ended up lasting for longer. When they parted, they both blushed furiously, when they noticed that everybody had watched. They all smiled and congratulated them before going back to their activities.

"So... Are we like... Boyfriends now?" Shinso asked with confusion.

"Yep!" Denki beamed.

Denki was about to get up leave when the boy grabbed his arm. He looked back to see Shinso's wide eyes.

"You know this is gonna be difficult." Shinso said softly.

"What do you mean?" Denki asked, confusion lacing his voice.

"With this. Our new relationship. I'll be going back to Japan on Sunday. And all of this, that we have, will be difficult to manage."

"I know... We can try though. Right?"

"I guess. Let's just see where it goes."

"Right."

The boys leave Denki's bedroom and go to join everyone else until it was time for Val, Corey, Dante, Shira, Olive, Conan and Jackal to leave.

923 words.

Sorry it is so short but this was all the inspiration I had for the chapter.

Not to mention, We are nearing the end of the story! L

This is sad for me, as I love writing this story.

Anyway,

Go Beyond

PLUS ULTRA!
